Adware.TrustInPopups is an adware program that displays advertisements.

When the program is installed, it creates the following files:
%ProgramFiles%\TrustIn Popups\tcpop.cfg
%ProgramFiles%\TrustIn Popups\TrustInPopups.exe
%ProgramFiles%\TrustIn Popups\uninstall.exe

The risk then creates and polulates the following registry subkeys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\TrustIn Popups
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TrustIn Popups

It also adds the following registry entry so that the risk will execute every time Windows starts up:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"TrustIn Popups" = "C:\Program Files\TrustIn Popups\TrustInPopups.exe"
